Confirmed damage in Sussex County VA...there have been reports of damage in the Williamsburg area as well but that is sketchy at this time.

Local news reports damage in James City County near Williamsburg . Two people were injured as well as two campers destroyed and numerous homes damaged. Im guessing this was probably an F1.
